PUBLIC SAFETY STRATEGIC COLLABORATION MEETING

SAFECOM Meeting Summary

Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

Tuesday, April 23, 2019

State of the State Mark Wrightstone, Pennsylvania Statewide Interoperability Coordinator (SWIC)

Mr. Wrightstone welcomed members to Pennsylvania and spoke to ongoing public safety communiations initiatives in the state, including the Pennsylvania Statewide Radio Network (PA-STARNet), PA STARS Satellite Early Warning Network, the Next Generation 911 (NG911) project, and the state’s upcoming Statewide Communication Interoperability Plan (SCIP) workshop. STARNet implementation involves transition from an OpenSky system to a statewide Project 25 (P25) Land Mobile Radio (LMR) system. The state’s ongoing project already covers half the geographic area with projected completion on time and within budget, in two years. The new system requires fewer towers to provide the same coverage. Mr. Wrightstone noted VHF mobile coverage has performed well despite challenges, and county, local, and federal users have been integrated into the system. As counties join the P25 system, the number of available tower sites continue to grow. After Warren County joined, other counties followed suit and have benefitted from joining the state system, resulting in greater partnerships with the state, cost reductions, and access to the broader statewide infrastructure, including a 24/7 Network Operations Center. Equipment from multiple vendors now have access to the system, with Motorola providing an online store for purchase of authorized equipment. Authentication of all users, including a requirement to encrypt radios, ensures the network remains secure. Long Term Evolution (LTE) FirstNet coverage is also available, with about 25,000 current end users, and 25 additional sites being constructed across the state. Pennsylvania has the fifth largest number of current FirstNet subscribers, which is expected to grow exponentially over the next year. The majority of FirstNet tower sites were strategically placed in areas historically proven difficult to cover. The state developed the P25 and LTE networks concurrently, performing tests along the way to ensure optimal integration. The P25 network was successfully tested during various large-scale events in 2019.

Mr. Wrightstone touched on several communications projects within the Pennsylvania Emergency Management Agency (PEMA), including the PA STARS Satellite Early Warning Network and the NG911 project, which recently released a request for proposal (RFP) for improvements to the system. Pennsylvania’s upcoming SCIP workshop is scheduled for June, when the state will update their plan, starting from scratch, to ensure it reflects the current emergency communications environment. To increase awareness and buy-in of the revised SCIP, local participants, as well as state-level decision makers, are invited to attend the workshop.

National Emergency Communications Plan Update Eric Runnels, Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA); Michael Murphy, SAFECOM Vice-Chair (At-Large, Baker Police Department); Chief Chris Lombard, SAFECOM Vice Chair (The Interagency Board for Emergency Preparedness & Response/At-Large, Seattle Fire Department)

Mr. Runnels, Mr. Murphy, and Chief Lombard described the stakeholder-driven National Emergency Communications Plan (NECP) revision process (i.e., planning, writing, reviewing, and publishing). The revised NECP will be the document’s third iteration, following initial development of the Plan in 2008 and an update in 2014. In accordance with the Homeland Security Act of 2002, as amended (6 U.S.C. § 573(a)), Congress directs the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) CISA to periodically conduct the Nationwide Communications Baseline Assessment (NCBA) and revise the NECP. The revised NECP incorporates feedback and outcomes from the 2018 SAFECOM Nationwide Survey—the data collection effort informing the NCBA—as well

as participation from SAFECOM, the National Council of Statewide Interoperability Coordinators (NCSWIC), nationwide working groups and webinars, multiple stakeholder reviews, and a national feedback period.

This version of the NECP addresses the benefits and challenges of integrating new technologies into legacy systems, such as broadband and NG911, as well as cybersecurity threats and vulnerabilities. The revision also includes a new emergency

communications ecosystem graphic, which illustrates an expanded concept of public safety communications such as a broader set of technologies and organizations, and the citizens they serve. Mr. Murphy and Chief Lombard reviewed major outcomes from a stakeholder adjudication session held in early April at CISA headquarters that included the addition of a tribal-focused Success Indicator to Goal 1. Following the meeting, CISA will begin the internal DHS review process for NECP signature.

DHS Science & Technology Directorate

Updates Sridhar Kowdley, DHS Science & Technology Directorate (S&T)

Mr. Kowdley briefed participants on S&T’s new organizational structure, ensuring SAFECOM members that the functions of the Office for Interoperability and Compatibility (OIC) will continue and now reside under the Office of Science and Engineering. Services will also include operations and requirements analysis, systems engineering, standards, technology scouting, test and evaluation, and transition. Mr. Kowdley also highlighted S&T’s efforts to strengthen emergency communications interoperability and resiliency, such as specific initiatives related to voice, video, and data communications; resiliency; advanced networking services; and vulnerability and impact assessments.

Mr. Kowdley provided additional details on the December 2018 Next Generation First Responder (NGFR) – Harris County Operational Experimentation (OpEx) held in Houston, Texas, and other work through the P25 Compliance Assessment Program (CAP). He also discussed efforts to establish a test laboratory to ensure P25 standards compliance for communications equipment.

SAFECOM members discussed the benefits of OIC tools and resources and emphasized the importance of sustaining information-sharing assessment tools over the long-term. Mr. Kowdley specifically referenced the Alerts, Warnings, and Notifications guidance materials S&T is currently developing in conjunction with SAFECOM using the Interoperability Continuum as a framework. He also referenced the Social Media Emergency Management guidance tool, which provides direction to public safety personnel on how to engage, plan, and use social media during a disaster or emergency response. Lastly, Mr. Kowdley discussed plans to track completed products over a three-year period when they go to market to ensure the continued development of stakeholder accessible and usable products.

Impact of Emerging Technologies on Public Safety Communications: The California Experience Budge Currier, California SWIC

Mr. Currier addressed California’s recent deployment of statewide Supplemental Location Mapping and Analytics in the Cloud and NG911 capabilities, as illustrated in Figure 2. These efforts are aimed to better integrate emerging technologies, improve location accuracy, enhance access to geographic information system (GIS) data, and share information. This cloud-based model helps manage costs by moving away from per position costs to call volume pricing. Mr. Currier shared California’s RFP process for Computer-Aided Dispatch (CAD) systems and the benefits of integrating functional requirements for native cloud-based solutions into RFPs. He explained how California contracts with several optional vendors, from which individual public safety answering points (PSAP) can choose. These vendors have been vetted to ensure they meet technological and interoperability

FirstNet in Practice:

Real-World Events and Adoption Update

Jacqueline Miller-Waring, FirstNet; Kenzie Capece, FirstNet; Paul

Patrick, FirstNet Board Member; Jeff Carl, AT&T

Mr. Patrick provided an update on FirstNet implementation and

capability development. Since its launch, FirstNet has positioned

72 Satellite Cell on Light Truck (SatCOLT) deployables

nationwide, expedited buildout of state Radio Access

Networks/Band 14, dedicated Security Operations Centers for

FirstNet subscribers, and launched an application and device

ecosystem for public safety. Mr. Carl walked SAFECOM members

through the Quality of Service, priority, and preemption

configuration for FirstNet service, and addressed issues

associated with Band 14. The focus of the service provider is to

optimize reach, public safety features, and ease of adoption.

Panelists also discussed public outreach plans to continue to

identify public safety priorities for the development of the

network. FirstNet will continue to provide updates at SAFECOM

and NCSWIC meetings moving forward.

requirements. California also has contracts with RapidDeploy and RapidSOS. The integrated solutions will provide fast, accurate location data of mobile phone callers on a geospatial map to improve location accuracy in PSAPs. The integrated solutions also provide map-based analysis of data captured by RapidSOS. The RapidLite service needed to capture location data from mobile phones is available to PSAPs at no cost.

California also released an RFP for NG911 systems with cloud computing and integrated alerts and warnings. Mr. Currier shared that integrating its functional requirements for native cloud-based solutions into the RFP process benefitted the state by enabling targeted messaging to communities. California hopes to improve situational awareness and capabilities to quickly notify surrounding jurisdictions when a community sends an alert. During recent wildfire response efforts, some communities were not aware if a neighboring community sent an alert. Lessons learned from these efforts are helping to improve messaging to communities.

Above and Beyond: Unmanned Aircraft Systems for Public Safety Communications Chief Charles Werner, Chair, National Public Safety Council of Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS); National Information Sharing Consortium; Fire Chief Emeritus, Charlottesville, Virginia, Fire Department; Anna Gomez, Attorney, Wiley Rein LLP; Sarah Ellis Peed, CISA

Chief Werner discussed the current small Unmanned Aircraft Systems (sUAS) used by public safety to gather situational and incident information from a variety of scenarios, including wildfires, lava flows, bridge collapses, search and rescue operations, and protest rallies. A new organization, the DRONERESPONDERS Public Safety Alliance, was recently formed and is dedicated to assisting public safety and other organizations implement and use UAS for public safety missions. Chief Werner will lead the group under AIRT, Inc., a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization formed in 2017, to execute three main objectives: 1) learn to more effectively adopt and use UAS through collaborative awareness building; 2) train to provide more detailed instruction to field operations teams; and 3) test UAS capabilities based on processes predicated on the Homeland Security Exercise and Evaluation Program.

Chief Werner discussed a wide application of drones in public safety, including structure firefighting, thermal imaging, major traffic accidents, combining types of digital imagery, artificial intelligence, shore patrol, overwatch of technical rescue (see Figure 3), locating poachers or lost persons, search and rescue operations, monitoring lava flows, traffic crash reconstruction, 3-D modeling, hazardous materials operations and sampling, and critical infrastructure monitoring.

Ms. Gomez provided an overview of rules, regulations, and requirements for operating sUAS, as Congress and the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) continue to update regulations to provide oversight. She discussed the waiver process and types of waivers previously granted to public safety agencies, including operations from a moving vehicle or aircraft, daylight

operation, visual line of sight, visual observer, operation of multiple of sUAS, yielding the right of way, operation over people, authorization to conduct operation in certain airspaces, and operating limitations for sUAS. As UAS technology continues to evolve, so do user laws and regulations. Ms. Gomez spoke about the FAA’s proposed rules for sUAS, requirements for manufacturers to submit declarations of compliance, security concerns regarding UAS operations, and future UAS rulemakings (e.g., stand-off distances, payload restrictions, critical system design requirements, performance limitations, unmanned traffic management operations).

Ms. Ellis Peed emphasized the need to mitigate risks and vulnerabilities associated with the use of UAS regarding payloads with a focus on operational safety and security. Ms. Ellis Peed emphasized that UAS are mobile computers, vulnerable to cyber intrusion similar to other mobile devices. In addition to public safety use, adversaries are interested in gaining access to UAS data and footage. Public safety UAS users need to consider best practices for storing, transferring, and securing information as well as issues related to supply chain risk. Ms. Ellis Peed also provided an update on new counter UAS authorities granted to DHS. Counter UAS technologies may include electronic mitigations, which have the potential to impact proximate communications and are, therefore, of interest to the communications community. Ms. Ellis Peed also noted security risks are not a reason to avoid drones entirely, but an invitation for collaboration to develop solutions addressing the risks. She urged SAFECOM members and their communities to participate in the DHS Critical Infrastructure Partnership Advisory Council (CIPAC) working groups, such as the Cross Sector Unmanned Aircraft Systems Security Working Group, that are providing input to DHS implementation of the new authorities.

Smarten Up: The Intersection of Public Safety Communications and Smart City Technologies Karen Lightman, Executive Director, Metro21: Smart Cities Institute, Carnegie Mellon University (CMU); Dr. Leonard Weiss, Assistant Professor of Emergency Medicine, EMS Medical/Director, Assistant Medical Director, STAT MedEvac, University of Pittsburgh; Dr. Jon Peha, Professor of Engineering and Public Policy, CMU; Chief Charles Werner, National Information Sharing Consortium/Fire Chief Emeritus, Charlottesville, Virginia, Fire Department

Ms. Lightman introduced the panelists and highlighted the need to connect those planning for Smart City technology integration and those planning new public safety communications capabilities. Dr. Weiss described real-world incidents and how geolocation plays an integral role in recent response efforts around the city of Pittsburgh, highlighting a specific incident in which geolocation challenges made it difficult to respond to a 911 call in front of a hospital. Chief Werner discussed the importance of public safety participation in Smart City projects to ensure data interoperability. He discussed specific opportunities—such as gathering new types of data and leveraging new communication tools to reach people at risk in an incident—and challenges—such as capability differences between

agencies, cybersecurity risks, and bandwidth limitations—encountered by Smart City efforts. Mr. Garces discussed recent flooding in South Bend, Indiana, where geo-mapping was used to support evacuations and UAS were used to support structural assessments. He described communications challenges between information technology and public safety when assisting regional coordination. Mr. Peha discussed his research at CMU and his work at the Federal Communications Commission and White House Office of Science and Technology Policy leading up to the creation of FirstNet. He also discussed his work integrating cameras and sensors for public safety with telecommunications to form a smart city infrastructure.

Education and Outreach (E&O) Committee, Chief Chris Lombard, Chair During the recent E&O Committee meeting in Denver, Colorado, on March 27, 2019, members continued to develop the Public Safety Communications Succession Guide and discussed a new outreach and engagement tracking form to collect information on SAFECOM’s presence in the public safety field. Filming took place during the Pittsburgh meetings for the SAFECOM Interoperability Video and Chief Lombard thanked members who agreed to be interviewed.

Chief Lombard also discussed a new idea for a “strike team” concept to help SAFECOM respond faster as time-sensitive issues arise in public safety communications. Members engaged in a discussion on the concept and determined the SAFECOM Governance Committee should explore it and make a recommendation to the SAFECOM EC. Chief Lombard also requested feedback from the SAFECOM EC on whether the SAFECOM Interoperability Continuum should be updated. He noted this is a key product for SAFECOM but some states have developed their own versions of it. Members agreed the E&O Committee should look into potential updates and make recommendations to the SAFECOM EC.

Communications Section Task Force (CSTF), Chief Chris Lombard, Chair The Incident Communications Advisory Council (ICAC) recently met in San Diego, California, March 19-21, 2019. The Task Force began to weigh three options for changing the organizational structure of the National Incident Management System (NIMS) Incident Command System (ICS). The three options include: 1) adding an Information Technology (IT) Unit to the Service Branch, 2) adding a Communications Branch under the Logistics Sections, and 3) creating a Communications Section. The Task Force has also been engaging with the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) National Integration Center (NIC) to identify mechanisms for providing feedback on NIMS ICS. During the CSTF Meeting on Wednesday, April 24, 2019, the Task Force reviewed the Auxiliary Communications (AUXCOMM) Position Task Book (PTB), a recommended baseline of standard common training goals for all AUXCOMM personnel.

Funding and Sustainment (F&S) Committee, Lloyd Mitchell, Chair The F&S Committee held an in-person meeting on March 28, 2019, in Lakewood, Colorado. During the meeting, the Committee focused on prioritizing Committee work products and activities, and held a facilitated discussion on the Emergency Communications Landscape from a funding and sustainment perspective. The Committee continues to work on the Value Analysis Guide, which describes common system components, including considerations and features required by public safety agencies that are unique to specific roles of the agency or individuals who will use the equipment. The Committee plans to develop a supplemental factsheet to accompany the Value Analysis Guide.

Following the completion of the Value Analysis Guide, the F&S Committee plans to updated Funding Mechanism Guide, originally published in November 2015. This Guide will list funding mechanisms that have been used by states, territories, and localities to support initial capital investments in public safety communications projects, as well as ongoing sustainment and operational costs. In 2020, the Committee plans to focus on best practices and recommendations for Continuity of Operations (COOP), and advocate for public safety agencies to develop and implement COOP plans.

Technology Policy (TP) Committee, Chief Gerald Reardon, Chair The TP Committee continues to support the Identity, Credential, and Access Management (ICAM) and Next Generation 911 (NG911) working groups. ICAM has four documents related to the adoption of the Trustmark Framework, which the Committee reviewed during their in-person meeting on April 24, 2019. These documents illustrate the value proposition of the adoption of ICAM into public safety communications programs. The

Committee will also continue efforts to support the NG911 Working Group as they finalize the NG911 Maturity State Self-Assessment Tool.

The TP Committee will continue to look at various topics within data interoperability and data management and will also continue to follow T-Band as it makes its way through Congress. The Committee will also focus on Inter Sub-System Interface (ISSI)/Console Sub-System Interface (CSSI) efforts and other Land Mobile Radio topics.

Chief Reardon presented the EC with the Public Safety Ten Keys to Improving Alerts, Warnings, and Notifications document for SAFECOM EC review and approval. This document was developed by SAFECOM, National Council of Statewide Interoperability Coordinators (NCSWIC), and CISA in collaboration with the Alerts, Warnings, and Notifications (AWN) community to help organizations, Alert Originators, partners, and stakeholders enhance critical information sharing. The Ten Keys document provides best practices for enhancing AWN structures by establishing governance; identifying and coordinating with others; developing plans, policies, and procedures; accounting for diverse populations through a whole community approach; maintaining security and resiliency; incorporating internal safeguards to protect against system misuse and prevent false messaging; training, exercises, and systems testing; eliminating issuance and dissemination delays; delivering actionable messaging; and monitoring and correcting misinformation. After brief discussion, Jay Kopstein, SAFECOM EC At-Large, provided the motion to approve the document, with Joe Galvin, NCSWIC, providing the second. The motion passed unopposed.

Dusty Rhoads, CISA, provided updates on the creation of two new working groups under the TP Committee: the P25 CAP AP Working Group and the P25 User Needs Working Group. He noted these two working groups have been previously discussed and will be brought under SAFECOM to ensure appropriate stakeholder input into product and recommendation development. Jim Downes, CISA, stressed the importance of creating these working groups to involve more SAFECOM members and increase the user base. Both working groups would invite subject matter experts (SME) and vendor participation. After brief discussion, Jay Kopstein, provided the motion to approve both working groups, with Jonathan Lewin, Major Cities Chiefs Association (MCCA), providing the second. Kevin McGinnis, National Association of EMS Officials (NASEMSO), abstained; however the motion passed.

Joint SAFECOM/NCSWIC Executive Committee Wednesday, April 24, 2019

The Joint SAFECOM/NCSWIC Executive Committee had a productive meeting in Pittsburgh! Chief

Gerald Reardon, SAFECOM Chair, and Joe Galvin, NCSWIC Chair, both noted their appreciation for

the thoughtful agenda and excellent presentations during the meetings. Members discussed the

ongoing challenges in improving interoperability, including funding and personnel, and the ways

SAFECOM and NCSWIC can continue to help the community overcome those challenges. Assistant

Director Ron Hewitt, CISA, provided an update on the NECP revision which received significant input

from SAFECOM and NCSWIC members. A motion was made, seconded, and unanimously passed for

SAFECOM and NCSWIC to endorse the current draft NECP. Joe Galvin read a letter of endorsement

which was then signed by him and Chief Reardon. Members then discussed the SAFECOM

Interoperability Continuum and the need to consider updating it as one of the program’s legacy

products. Finally, members offered feedback on scheduling for the next Joint SAFECOM/NCSWIC In-

Person Meeting scheduled for November 4-9, 2019, in Atlanta, Georgia.

SAFECOM Community Updates

Chief Reardon shared his recent experience working on the Boston Marathon and how he saw the positive influence of SAFECOM in their communications process. He noted the process still has room for improvement but has improved tremendously in the last five years.

Kevin McGinnis discussed recent developments in the emergency medical services (EMS) field with telemedicine and emergency treatment triage and transport. Several pilot programs have been established for emergency medical dispatch centers which allow ambulances to transport people to care centers rather than hospitals. Jon Olson, National EMS Management Association (NEMSMA), noted the positive impact the pilot has had in his county on both budget and personnel.

John Miller, NCSWIC, thanked SAFECOM for its efforts to support Statewide Interoperability Coordinators (SWIC) in recent grant guidance.

Jay Kopstein mentioned recent communications failures in New York and the lessons learned about including vendors in communication operations plans. Sridhar Kowdley, DHS Science and Technology Directorate, noted many people do not fully understand what they are getting when they buy FirstNet. Members agreed additional education is needed in the field as more agencies transition to FirstNet.
